The social part of the evening begins at 5:30 p.m., and the event will begin a little after 6:00 p.m. To register online for the event, please click here.

The upcoming class will mark the fourth round of inductees into the Coaches' Circle, and will honor coaches that graduated from Sacramento State.

In addition, as part of the festivities, head coach Brian Katz will introduce every member of the 2015-16 Hornet squad and preview the season.

This year's Coaches' Circle inductees include Tom Brian (in memoriam), Neil McCarthy, Bob Opp and Burnel Pinkerton. Of the four inductees, three also played collegiately at Sacramento State, including Brian (1951-54), McCarthy (1963-64) and Opp (1965-66).

Brian will also become the 12th former player inducted as an individual into the Sacramento State Men's Basketball Hall of Fame, and first to be inducted into both the Coaches' Circle and the Hall of Fame. Brian was named the Sacramento State team MVP during both the 1952-53 and 1953-54 seasons, and led the Hornets to a combined record of 41-27 during his three years with the program. He finished his career averaging 10.4 points and 10.8 rebounds per game while shooting .476 from the field and .783 from the free throw line.
